Re: C++: "unqualified" linkage
> PS: Why didn't the C++ standard include this?
From the point of the C standard, there is only one version of
<foo.h>, which is defined as
#include <cfoo>
using std::foo_struct1;
using std::foo_struct2;
etc, so there is no need to deal with a different copy of <foo.h>
which has
struct foo_struct1{
/* contents */
};
etc. How C and C++ integrate on the system header and library
interface, is really an implementation issue.
